Getting Started

The QuickStart8 board produces signals specifically designed todemonstrate the timing and voltage measurement capabilities ofTektronix test and measurement oscilloscopes.

The board is especially useful for demonstration and trainingpurposes, since its uses output signals that incorporate imperfectionsfound in a testing environment.

This section includes the following information:

Required materials

Instructions for setting up and configuring the board

Overview of the output signals

Required MaterialsThe QuickStart8 board comes with the following standard accessory:

Instruction manual

You will need to supply the following items:

A Tektronix general-purpose oscilloscope

Choose one: P6139A 10X Passive probe, TCP 202 Current probe,or Differential probe (P6246 or P6247)

50 Ω BNC cable with a BNC/SMA adapter

Getting Started

1–2 QuickStart8 DPO Demonstration Board

PrerequisitesThe examples in this manual are based on the following prerequisitesand assumptions:

You are familiar with the basics of taking timing and voltagemeasurements

That the oscilloscope and any accessories are properly set up (forexample, it is assumed that any oscilloscope probe that youintend to use is properly calibrated)

Setting Up Your QuickStart8 Board

CAUTION. Static discharge can damage the board. To prevent staticdamage, handle components only in a static-free environment.

Always wear a grounding wrist strap, heel strap, or similar devicewhile handling the board.

1. To discharge any static electricity, touch the ground connectorlocated on the board. Then, before you remove the board fromthe protective bag, touch the bag to discharge stored staticelectricity.

2. Remove the QuickStart8 board from the bag and place the boardparts-side up on any flat surface.

3. Turn the board so that the rubber feet are placed on the worksurface.

4. Set the power switch, S2780, to off (see Figure 2–1 on page 2–4).

Getting Started


Configuring Your QuickStart8 Board Configure the QuickStart8 board using the VCO Mode Select switch,S2810. See Figure 2–1 on page 2–4 for the switch location. Theconfiguration you choose will determine the appearance of theoutput signals at test pins J2410, J2520 and J1.

VCO MODE SELECT. Switch S2810 consists of four DIP switches,labeled 1 through 4. DIP switches 1 and 2 are not used. DIP switches3 and 4 of S2810 allow selection of several modes of operation.Table 1–1 lists the VCO switch configurations and outputs.

Getting Started


Applying and Removing Power

Power Source. The QuickStart8 board can be powered directly fromthe TDS 7000 Series oscilloscope using the USB (Universal SerialBus) port or from an optional transformer.

CAUTION. Connecting the QuickStart8 board incorrectly can damageyour keyboard (see Figure 1–1)

To power on the board using the USB port:

1. Connect the USB cable into the USB IN port on the board (seeFigure 1–1 and 2–1).

2. Plug the USB cable into the USB connector on back of theTDS 7000 Series instrument.

3. Plug the keyboard cable into the USB OUT port on the board (seeFigure 1–1 and 2–1).

To power on the board using an optional wall transformer:

CAUTION. To prevent damage to the oscilloscope when using a walltransformer, do not use the USB connector to attach between theQuickStart8 board and oscilloscope.

1. Connect the power cord to the power jack on the board (seeFigure 2–1).

2. Plug the wall transformer into a wall socket.

NOTE. Use a wall transformer that is 9 volts or between 6 – 12 voltsat 5 watts. The outside diameter of the power-jack connector is5.5 mm.

To remove power follow these steps:

1. Set the power switch (see Figure 2–1) to off.

2. Disconnect the power cord or the USB IN cable.

Operating Basics


Detailed Signal Descriptions This section covers output signals on Quickstart 8 board thatdemonstrate the features of the TDS7000 series of oscilloscopes.

Switching Power Supply Signals: V SWITCH, I SWITCH

The V SWITCH (J2880) and I SWITCH signals are derived from theswitching power supply on the board. This power supply switches atabout 260 kHz. These signals were included to demonstrate thecurrent, voltage and power measurement capabilities on theoscilloscope (see Figure 2–2).

Figure 2–2: V switch, I switch

Operating Basics


Quadrature Amplitude Modulation Baseband Signals

QAM I, QAM Q, and QAM CLK. These signals emulate a basebandquadrature amplitude modulated digital signal. The clock rate of thesignal is about 1 MHz. This signal is designed to demonstrate anumber of features including FastAcq, XY and XYZ as shown inFigures 2–3 through 2–6.

Figure 2–3: QAM I, QAM Q, and QAM CLK signals

Figure 2–4: XY display

Operating Basics


Figure 2–5: Y-T FastAcq display

XYZ Mode

Using the XYZ mode in place of the XY mode, permits theinstrument to sample signals at precise times when the incomingsignal is expected to be at the correct logic level. The Z parametercomes from connecting an additional probe from Channel 3 to theQAM CLK signal. The resulting QAM pattern will have data pointsat precise locations without the noise shown in the XY QAM pattern.

Figure 2–6: XYZ FastAcq display

Operating Basics


A 250 mV Fast Rise Signal (Tr < 200 ps)

FAST RISE SIGNAL. This signal (J600) has an edge that is faster thanthe rise time of most oscilloscope, but Tektronix oscilloscope canmeasure this signal. There is a long (relative to rise time) 50 runon the circuit board that is exposed and plated to allow for probing.This is intended to demonstrate the ability of a probe and oscillo-scope system to display small time differences or skew. This signalcan also be used as a deskew signal source (see Figure 2–7).

Figure 2–7: Fast Rise Signal

Operating Basics


Dual Random Anomalies Signals

RAND ANOM I, CHEAT I, RAND ANOM II, CHEAT II. The RandomAnomalies signals are square waves that have occasional glitches,short pulses and other signal changes inserted at random intervals.Two channels are provided for demonstrating two channel anomalydetection (see Figures 2–8 and 2–9).

Figure 2–8: Random Anomaly with cheat signal

Figure 2–9: Dual Channel Random Anomalies

Operating Basics


RESET ANOM

RESET ANOM. This switch (S2830) changes the signal outputfrequency and amplitude in a random fashion. The number ofglitches per second is also varied by the RESET ANOM switch. Theamplitude will be a value between 2.7 and 3.2 volts and thefrequency will vary between 180 kHz and 320 kHz. The dual randomanomaly outputs can be synchronized or unsynchronized bycontinuing to depress the RESET ANOM switch.

Operating Basics


Phase Locked VCO Output Signals

PLL VCO OUTPUT. This voltage controlled oscillator output signal(J2410) provides a 2.5 volt (peak to peak) signal that is either85 MHz or 68 MHz. For example, the peak-to-peak voltage isapproximately 3.1 V when oscilloscope channel has 1M ofresistance or 1.8 V peak-to-peak when the oscilloscope channel has aresistance of 50

VCO TUNING VOLTAGE. This voltage signal drives the VCO. Phaselocked loop parameters determine how fast the VCO frequency willchange to a new programmed value.

The PLL VCO and VCO TUNING (J2520) signals are useful fordemonstrating the effect of different resolutions when comparing ahigh frequency envelope of a signal to a slowly varying controlsignal. This is demonstrated in Figures 2–10 and 2–11.

Figure 2–10: Low resolution display

Operating Basics


Figure 2–11: High resolution display

VCO MODE SELECT. This signal modifies the VCO output accordingto Table 1–1 on page 1–3. Switches 3 and 4 of S2810 (a DIP switch)allow selection of several modes of operation.

Operating Basics


RF Modulation

You can obtain a modulated RF signal by connecting a probe to J1located near the SMA connector (see page 2–8). The waveform hasan amplitude that modulates between 40 and 80 mV when viewingthe individual waveforms while the frequency modulation can beseen with a more compressed time scale.

Figure 2–12: Modulated RF display

Operating Basics


Pseudo Random Anomalies Signals

A five pin connector is included in the center of the board (J13) thatgenerates four random digital signals and a clock. These signals areuseful for demonstrating boolean trigger, state trigger, and otherkinds of triggers (see Figure 2–13).

Figure 2–13: Pseudo-Random digital signals

Operating Basics


Universal Serial Bus

USB DATA. USB signals from the host computer are available from J2(see Figure 2–14). This testpoint will generate signals only when theUSB cable is used to power the board. It is also necessary to connecta device such as a mouse to the USB output connector on theQuickStart8 board.

Figure 2–14: USB signals

Operating Basics


Simulated Ground Bounce Signal

An unexpected positive transition on channel 1 (J14, pin 1) isgenerated whenever the signal on channel two (J14, pin 2) transitionsfrom positive to negative. This positive transition occurs at intervalsof 0.1 seconds to several seconds (see Figure 2–15).
